So I've ordered the most vigorous grower - Salix Viminalis 'Bowles Hybrid.
It came in packs of 10. I bought 2 packs.
I really wanted some colours but after reading Vinnys post, and reading about all the varieties I thought this one would suit my growing conditions and give me more return?
This variety supposed to be able to grow roughly 10ft per year?! So I've given up on the colour and plumped for strong healthy growth instead. Hoping to have some material for wreaths/ may even have a go at weaving
Though OH would love some kindling - I personally think we would have left here before we get that can of growth.
Watch this space.
